The branches of Arapahoe Libraries will be a circus this summer.

The Step Right Up and Read summer reading program kicks off June 2 and continues through July 29. Each branch has a number of themed programs to celebrate, including comedians, puppeteers, magicians, carnival games, bounce houses, face painting and more.

Participants can earn rewards such as books and coupons. Adults will be entered into a drawing for a booklovers bag.
